Nico's 'The End...' Gets Expanded Vinyl Reissue for 40th Anniversary

While the Velvet Underground's albums continue to receive deluxe anniversary reissues, their late collaborator Nico will be getting similar treatment for her album The End... from 1974. This 40th anniversary edition will be out on November 11 through Music on Vinyl.

The album was produced by Velvet Underground compatriot John Cale. The sound centres on Nico's vocals and harmonium, while Brian Eno contributed synthesizers. Six of the tunes were written by Nico; there's also a cover of "The End" by the Doors, along with the German national anthem "Das Lied Der Deutschen."

This reissue expands the collection to a double LP with the inclusion of radio sessions, TV performances and alternate versions. This more than doubles the tracklist from eight tracks to 17.

According to Music on Vinyl, this it the first time these extra tracks have been pressed on vinyl. That being said, the same songs have previously appeared on a 2012 CD reissue.
